Arjun #156 {``#122 by Salim_Chauhan on January 2, 2007 7:17pm PT
when were the last crusades? ``}

Arjun,
The First Crusade was called by Pope Urban II in 1097, culminating in the sack of Jerusalem in 1099 accompanied by the wholesale massacre of its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants.
The most recent Crusade was called by Pope Bush II in 2001, when he said ``This is a Crusade`` in the White House lawn, this culminated in the bombing and occupation of both Afaghanistan (2001) and Eye Rack (2003) accompanied by the deaths of thousands of Eye Rackis, Afghans, Americans, British, Eye Tallians, and others.

This history lesson is free - the next one may cost ya.

my insider sourced tell me that killing of saddam was done to apease bood-thirsty shiite-militias..with the promise that if they are allowed to ``have their way`` with the baathist regime elements, they will then stop the violence against iraqi civilians. amrican forces will at this point take tough action against militias on the grounds that they were given their chance at blood-letting, and associated political milage amongst their constituency (i.e. sadr city, marsh-arabs etc). so with this ritual slaughter a new peace shall ensue ..at least that is the idea.

regarding crusades vs gajnavi, noone in christiandom glorifies them as great acts of religiocity..no comparison. weirdest thing is pakis who got the brunt of the rape and pillage worship gajnavi...go figure.

Saddam is a martyr, says Sena mouthpiece
Mahesh Mhatre
Mumbai, January 2 : Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna has strongly criticised the hanging of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

“Saddam was sentenced to death for mass killing, but if we use the same yardstick for America we will have to hang President Bush a thousand times,” says the editorial of the daily. Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray is the editor of Saamna.

Thackeray praises Saddam for his fight with the American government. His paper has been publishing pro-Saddam news reports and articles over the last few days. On Monday, it published a full-sized editorial calling the Iraqi dictator a “martyr”.

#151 Masadi,

So the mainstream media would be happy polishing the boots but what about lulu.com.
In lululand, people will not listen to any bs. They will objectively analyse the facts. And derive intelligent conclusions. Like yours, Masadi.

You should be avoiding ad-hominem replies Masadi.

Re: # 170
Very nice Truly Sahib… Islam is being Zinda Hota in Sudan some 2000 times a day. But to be honest, Iranians wouldn’t appreciate you equating Saddam’s filthy name with that of Imam Hussein. As you will probably know that not a single word of denunciation has been said by the Iranian leadership over Saddam’s death. Shias in Iraq danced in the streets to celebrate the death of the butcher. Only some Wahabi inspired Pakis are making such a big deal over it. Kinda interesting.

Re: # 171

Please free your petty mind, and look at the big picture. The murder of Saddam Hussain through a kangroo court has nothing to do with serving justice to a cruel dictator - but it has everything to do with the symbolic gesture where an inhuman empire is sending the the signal to the world as to how the future rebellions and rebels will be dealt with. No human being with a clear and just conscience will stand this kind of bullshit - this is not medieveil times we live in. The footage of this murder was released and disseminated by American propaganda machinery deliberately to get the political milage out of it; and frankly we will not let them. They think that they can intimidate Muslims with the Nazi crap such as this but they are sadly mistaken; it only makes us more detremined to stand up against this oppression.

Wow! Parthaab and Shiv Sena on the same side!

Chance, conviction, or pure opportunism?
